It's not that he's wrong; it's that he's confidently, loudly wrong and dismissive of other views. He was right once, and has been riding that ever since. Financial James Carville

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

A lot of our worst problems come from two unquestioned beliefs:

1) If someone is smart about one thing, it means they are smart about everything, and possibly even more importantly

2) If someone demonstrated that they were smart in the past, they can never again be stupid

What is the basis of your 'deep respect' for people who are willing (for money) to enable actions that you believe are unconscionable and indefensible?

A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator
A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator YouTube video by ForbrukerrΓ₯det - Norwegian Consumer Council

"Make people dependent enough, and then make it shitty"

Still giggling at this hilarious video from the Norwegian Consumer Council "A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator" which seems a perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley and tech generally these days

Would at least make voters more realistic about what wars cost and are capable of achieving

Yes, usually straight grated horseradish. Some will do some kind of sauce, but it's pretty wet to begin with

Very regional, Buffalo and suburbs. I don't think it's even much of a thing in Rochester. DF only knows about it from Buffalo (?). About 2m people care. And some Canadians

BoWs never refer to the sauce because it's implied. They're like that and it's weird to prefer them drier or mention it

He's out there demanding billions from companies for nothing. How on earth can he care about this? Isn't that what he assumed they'd do?

It's short for Kummelweck. German, obvs. A hard roll with coarse salt and caraway seeds stuck to the top (water? egg white? somehow). Bonus: beef on weck is usually served wet with au jus. A good one is properly soggy about halfway through and no longer recognizably a sandwich by the end

Starting to wonder about 'yo spike, I got the Motts' but it's probably not related

I think this one in particular is much simpler: they are realizing what a shitshow they're in for on energy prices, and anything that gets more supply available is good. I do agree that he's somehow in Putin's pocket, but this example, though glaring, might have a simpler explanation

2) Like all learning, the tasks that enable people to move to a more advanced developmental level require effort and can generate resentment towards those administering the tasks. There is often a 'you can't make me' aspect to the refusal to consider others or work within a nuanced worldview

Very good post. More people should be familiar with Piaget. I would posit in addition two things: 1) Each developmental stage lives within each of us and regression to prior stages can and does happen, situationally and semi-permanently (formerly nice, thoughtful person goes MAGA), and
